Uncooked: If you have band saw you can slice 'em up and make Country Style Ribs, cube 'em then grind for sausage.
Cooked: Carnitas, Green Chile, chop and add to spuds for hash, egg/spring rolls, pork fried rice.

+1 on the carnitas and Green Ghilie stew

Good ideas guys, I may have to do some of all of them,

I have (4) 10 - 12 lb. of pork shoulders.

i wonder if I make sausage there is enough fat or do i need to add some?

Cuban Pork - Mojo marinated pork

Mojo Marinated Pork
Ingredients
4 1/2 cups fresh orange juice, divided
1 1/4 cups fresh lime juice, divided
Zest of 1 orange
Zest of 1 lime
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh oregano
1/2 cup garlic, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1 bone-in pork shoulder (about 4 to 6-pounds), trimmed of excess fat
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Combine 4 cups of the orange juice, 1 cup of the lime juice, zest and garlic in a large saucepan over high heat and reduce to 2 cups.
Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining orange juice, lime juice, oregano and olive oil.
Let cool to room temperature.

Marinate the pork roast in the refrigerator over night
Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
Place roast and marinade in a pan
Add fresh ground black pepper to taste
Cook at the temps you normally use (I use a dome temp of 250 on my BGE)
Occasionally baste with the juices in the pan
For sliced Mojo Pork pull when the internal temp is 160
For pulled Mojo Pork pull when internal temp is 195 to 200
Wrap with HDAF and place in a cooler for an hour or so
Pull and enjoy with Mojo dipping sauce

Mojo Dipping Sauce:
8 cloves garlic, chopped
2 serrano chiles, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
Salt
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Using a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic, serrano, cilantro and a few pinches of salt until it becomes a paste. Add the orange juice, lime juice and oil and stir to combine.

Left overs make nice quesadillas or pizzas

Shoulders are perfect for sausage just the way they come....

[DATsBBQ]

Pork butts are the ideal chunk of pork to make sausage out of. Perfect ratio of fat to meat. Trim off the hard nasty fat, it doesn't grind well and doesn't render well for that matter.

I shy away from the shoulder. Picnics and me....well haven't had a warm fuzzy yet.

I have been wondering if some the sausage mix from Bass Pro with some Texas Gun Powder and Hog Waller added in it would work?
